America's secret nuclear bunkers

RAVEN ROCK, PENNSYLVANIA:

The military complex was constructed following the end of World War Two, just six miles north of Camp David.
It is believed there is a secret tunnel linking the facility with the presidential retreat which could be used in the event of attack.The facility was opened in 1953 and can hold about 1,400 people, according to the book.President Obama allowed members of the public to visit the facility on weekends.After the collapse of the Soviet Union, some government officials believed the facility should have been shut. However, it was thoroughly refurbished following 9/11.

PETERS MOUNTAIN, VIRGINIA

Buried beneath the Appalachian Mountains, the facility was branded as an AT&T communications station. But in reality, it housed space for hundreds of staff to help provide continuity in government in the event of disaster.Bluemount, Virginia: The US civilian leadership, including the cabinet, president and Supreme Court would be taken to this facility to ride out the attack.

MOUNT WEATHER

This facility houses the 'survivor list' of 6,500 names and addresses of people needed to help rebuild the US in the event of disaster.

NORAD: COLORADO SPRINGS

Probably the most famous 'secret bunker' in America. The North American Aerospace Defense Command complex is responsible for defending the United States and Canada from air attack.The complex was completed in the 1950s and is believed to be able to withstand the electromagnetic pulse associated with a nuclear attack.
Although, soon after it was completed, NORAD on Christmas Eve began providing a popular Santa tracker service so people can warn their children to go to bed before his arrival.The complex is built inside Cheyenne Mountain and in the event of an emergency, it can house 1,000 people for a month.

NORTH LAWN, 1,600 PENNSYLVANIA DRIVE, WASHINGTON DC

According to Graff, underneath the North Lawn of the White House, there is the Presidential Emergency Operations Center (PEOC).
Dick Cheney was rushed into the complex during the 9/11 attacks in 2001, however it is only designed to be used for a short period.

Graff believes President Obama ordered a $376 million upgrade of the facility, which officially was to improve the facility's air conditioning.
